STOKE CITY 0 LIVERPOOL 1: MATCH RATINGS

BATTLING Liverpool return from Stoke City and their ASDA price dugouts with bags of character and a precious 1-0 lead after the first leg of the League Cup semi-final.  The victory was not without its cost, with both Philippe Coutinho and Dejan Lovren succumbing to...

WEST HAM UNITED 2 LIVERPOOL 0: MATCH RATINGS

LIVERPOOL have scored more than one goal in a league game once since that game at the Etihad which has proved to be the falsest of dawns. That one occasion was a home game against West Brom, a match which required a 95th-minute deflected equaliser. Fact is,...

LIVERPOOL 2-1 BORDEAUX: MATCH RATINGS

A WIN that puts us through, with a fair chance of topping a group in which it took us forever to post a win. Wasn’t always pretty, but some nice play all the same. Albeit with a few more miles in a few more legs. Anyway scores. Simon Mignolet 3.5 Massive respect...

RUBIN KAZAN 0 LIVERPOOL 1: PLAYER RATINGS

APPARENTLY at some point between playing at Anfield and now, Rubin Kazan have changed their name to FC Rubin. Feels like the kind of thing that should only be allowed in the summer, that. Luckily they haven’t also signed a lot of good players, and Liverpool...

CHELSEA 1-3 LIVERPOOL: MATCH RATINGS

A WONDERFUL result, especially after going 1-0 down. A manager can only change so much in a short time. We’ve all mentioned his tactical changes, his pressing, players he’s brought back, players “playing in their right positions”. Jurgen has...

EVERTON 1 LIVERPOOL 1 – MATCH RATINGS

A draw was probably a fair result. A draw isn’t actually a bad result. But you are allowed to win when you don’t deserve to. You are allowed to win at tough places. Liverpool don’t know how to do either. They also don’t know how to hold on to a...

LIVERPOOL 1 FC SION 1 – MATCH RATINGS

I AM composing this latest staggering insight into Liverpool Football Club from my spec in Hustlers Cocktail Bar in Hisaranu. Therefore it may well be flawed but then it is names followed by numbers followed by sentences. My arbitrary figures will almost all be wrong....

LIVERPOOL 1 NORWICH CITY 1 – MATCH RATINGS

A FRUSTRATING afternoon. It was good to see us at least creating chances, but still not enough of them and certainly not enough going in the net. Norwich are fortunate to leave with a point, but they could have won all three. Which, if you consider they showed little...

MATCH RATINGS: BORDEAUX v LIVERPOOL

CAUGHT out by the mad kick off time, Gibbo is busy literally blowing his own trumpet so that left us with no-one to do the ratings. As Twitter has been giving us a bit of stick recently we decided to ask Twitter to do the ratings instead. Then it can give itself some...
